(Just for archiving purposes)
I finally got a new set of mice (yes, optical, I think it has 800 ppp).
Specifically this one:
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/basic-optical-mouse/P58-00001
It was the one I found with the closest design to the older (size and
weight). As I preferred to keep the old mouse serial port of the
motherboard (instead wasting one port from the USB hub), I'm using it
with a USB to PS/2 adapter.
I find the optical mouse is it a bit quicker than the older so I had to
reduce its speed from GNOME mouse settings. So far so good.
Yeepi! I no longer feel like a dinosaur, now I'm in cool's club 8-)
